Huawei launches C-C4ISR public safety solutions

Huawei has launched a number of new public safety solutions at the Global Safe City Summit 2017.

Huawei has launched its new C-C4ISR Collaborative Public Safety Solutions in the region, to help meet the need for collaborative and integrated public safety systems.

The C-C4ISR includes the four ‘C's of command & control, communication, cloud and cross-agent intelligence; along with big data, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities, to offer new levels of public safety management and control.

The integrated solutions are intended to overcome the problems of traditional siloed public safety systems which typically lack information sharing capabilities and are major barriers to effective collaboration between different government agencies.

Fan Siyong, President of Public Sector of Huawei Enterprise Business Group, said: "As cities embrace digital transformation, new safety threats are emerging that need to be addressed by the public safety industry. We need to keep pace with social and technological developments and shift from a traditional city safety construction model to one of collaborative public safety. By building cross-region and cross-agency collaborative public safety systems that connect governments and citizens, we can help cities better prevent, detect, handle, and recover from various threats. The ‘collaborative' method of C-C4ISR will be fundamental to digital transformation of the public safety industry. Using new ICT such as Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data, mobile broadband, and Software-Defined Networking (SDN), as well as cloud-pipe-device synergy, the solution will drive efficient collaboration among governmental agencies as well as between governmental agencies and citizens."

Huawei also announced its first all-cloud and matrix intelligence Video Cloud Solution and Crisis and Disaster Management Solution. The solutions are designed to address diverse safety threats and protect citizens in cities across the world.

Hong-Eng Koh, Global Chief Public Safety Expert of Huawei Enterprise Business Group, stated: "In today's digital world, platforms and ecosystems are accelerating digital transformation of cities and changing the way people connect and communicate, such as using Facebook, Uber, and WeChat. In this new era, crimes and other threats are rapidly developing and public safety agencies need advanced technology that enables inter-agency collaboration to handle emerging threats and challenges. Huawei's C-C4ISR platform and partner ecosystem are helping agencies to develop a collaborative public safety method that can help them maintain control over fast-changing situations."

The new solutions were launched at Huawei's Global Safe City Summit 2017 which took place in Dubai. More than 350 government customers, industry experts, and partners participated in the summit.
